PREPARATION TIPS and POINTERS: Several things you can do to help ensure a successful testing experience is that your student arrives on time, fully rested and prepared to test. It is also important to make sure your child eats a good dinner the night before, if not a good breakfast the morning of testing. Similarly, encouraging your student to do his or her personal best can greatly improve self-confidence levels leading to better performance.

SST-CC is offering a summer school program required for K thru 8th grade students who need additional instruction. The four-week program, from June 4th to June 28th 2013, will focus on Reading and Math skills and concepts. No summer school for Science and Social Studies, tests will be given for the students who fail these subjects.

SST-CC requires the students who fail Reading and/or Math course(s); STAAR Reading and/or Math tests and eligible ESL students to attend the summer school program. The program will also include the students who are in jeopardy of failing because these students may have a “summer slide” and forget some of what they have learned during summer. The summer school will be an opportune time to intervene and to provide the extra support they need to meet new learning expectations awaiting them.

We have mailed letters to parents of failing students showing the failed subjects and schedule. The students who have excessive absences will need to take exams to promote next grade level. No lunch or breakfast will be provided.

Schedule: 1st Class (Math or ELA) 8-9:50
2nd Class (Math or ELA) 10-11:50

About the awards…
Since 1923, the Awards have recognized the exceptional vision of our nation’s youth, and we provide a singular opportunity for


students to be noticed for their creative talents. Each year, increasing numbers of creative teens submit their work, and they become a part of our community – young artists and writers, filmmakers and photographers, poets, and sculptors, and countless educators who support and encourage the creative process.

The Alliance for Young Artists & Writers was founded in 1994, as a 501©(3) nonprofit, to present the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards, and to expand upon the Awards enormous legacy of bringing the exceptional artistic and literary talent of teens to a national audience.

Since their founding, the Awards have identified the early promise of some of our nation’s most exceptional visionaries. Our alumni include artists like Andy Warhol, Philip Pearlstein, and Cy Twombly, writers Sylvia Plath, Truman Capote, and Joyce Carol Oates, photographer Richard Avedon, actors Frances Farmer, Robert Redford, Alan Arkin, and John Lithgow, filmmakers Stan Brakhage, Ken Burns, and Ned Vizzini, and many more. Outside the arts, Awards’ alumni employ their creativity to become successful in any number of ways – leaders in fields like journalism, medicine, finance, government and civil affairs, the law, science, toy design, and more.

Students’ submissions are judged by luminaries in the visual and literary arts, some of whom have also been past award recipients, and many notable past jurors have lent their expertise, including Francine Prose, Paul Giamatti, Langston Hughes, Robert Frost, Judy Blume, Paula Poundstone, Lesley Stahl, Billy Collins, Michael Beirut, Edward Sorel, David Sedaris, Roz Chast, and more. Panelists look for works that best exemplify the Awards’ core values: originality, technical skill, and the emergence of personal voice or vision.

Teens in grades 7 through 12, from public, private, or home schools, can apply in 28 categories of art and writing for their chance to earn scholarships and have their works exhibited or published.In the past five years alone, submissions have topped 700,000 works,The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards continues to be the longest-running, most prestigious recognition program for creative teens in the U.S., and the largest source of scholarships for young artists and writers.
